In the heart of every home, where laundry is never just a chore but a testament to daily life, the GE 4.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Top Load Washer steps forward—not as just another appliance, but as a steadfast partner. Designed and built in America with a commitment to real-life practicality, this washer offers a blend of innovation and tradition worthy of praise.
Performance and Features
Capacity & Versatility
The generous 4.0cu.ft. stainless steel drum is engineered to tackle bulky loads, from mountains of muddy jeans to delicate soccer jerseys, all in a single sweep. With 11 distinct wash cycles, it gives families an arsenal of choices, confidently handling everything from quick washes to heavy-duty loads.
Water Level Control
A standout feature is the customizable water level control, allowing users to ensure thorough rinsing or water-saving options. It's a thoughtful solution for those who demand both efficiency and efficacy.
Late Lid Lock Safety
Forgot to add a forgotten sock? No problem. The late lid lock safety feature permits users to add items even after the cycle has started—until the final spin.
Automatic Dispensers
Convenience shines through with automatic bleach and softener dispensers, taking the guesswork out of each cycle.
American Craftsmanship
Proudly constructed in America using up to 90% U.S. content, GE’s commitment to local manufacturing underscores every detail.
User Experience
Ease of Use & Practicality
Odd socks, stubborn stains, and sensitive fabrics—this washer meets every laundry challenge with intuitive controls and reliable performance. Many users praise its value, capacity, and the confidence it brings to every load.
Noise & Vibration
Yet, the heart of any review is honesty. Some owners report a noticeable noise level and aggressive vibration during spin cycles. For homes with young children or sensitive ears, this can be a point of frustration. While its cleaning power is not in question, future updates from GE may further address these concerns to bring silence and serenity to laundry day.
Verdict
The GE 4.0 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Top Load Washer with Water Level Control is more than an appliance—it’s a reliable workhorse that blends classic utility with modern enhancements. For those who value capacity, flexibility, and American-made quality, this washer shines.
If you seek cleaning performance and everyday reliability—and can accept a bit of noise in the pursuit of pristine laundry—the GE top loader deserves a place in your home. For those who crave quieter operation, keep an ear out for GE’s next innovation.
Laundry isn’t just a chore; it’s a ritual. Let this GE washer help you master it.

New GE top load washer works great. Just louder than what we’re used to. It’s a low end machine. We decided on it because we’re retired and don’t need all the bells and whistles that we had when we were a family of 5. Dryer also works great.

I chose this model specifically because I had the same brand in a gas dryer and wanted both units to match. This unit has all the thrills of a standard washing machine which is all you really need.

This washer makes noise and vibration is aggressive during the spin cycle.I wanted to give this washer a chance .But since I owned a whirlpool and it made the same complicated reaction.This machine does clean clothes.But in my personal opinion the noise that it makes and with that screeching sound is for me to much to bear.GE might have been around for am long time but I think that with all the noise this machine makes might make you think heavy duty but I say even though any machine should not only be durable but comfortable to use in my opinion with that I think and feel that this machine needs an update from its manufacturer and testing on noise level not just how well it cleans .in this review and my obvious insight I do not recommend this washer because of the high noise level with screeching and aggressive vibration which is annoying to my baby and when she hears it she won't stop crying

We want to help you get the best results from your washer. If you aren't already, try selecting Max and selecting the Deep Rinse even if you aren't using a fabric softer. Closing the lid right away will also help. If you have a large load, select Bulky Items and Tap Cold. We always recommend using an HE detergent for the best results.

Our new washer works brilliantly! We recommend it as a good quality appliance. One potential drawback is the noise, but this may not be an issue if the appliance is located behind a closed door or in a remote part of the home. It is perfect for us, and we recommend it for anyone looking for an efficient, easy-to-use, top-load washer.

I've run about a dozen laundry loads so far and I love this machine. Quicker, quieter, and uses less water than my old machine. Clothes and towels have come out clean, soft, and took less time to dry due to the thorough spin cycle. Very pleased with this purchase so far.

The washer is surprisingly good. I like the precise full option. It’s a little louder than my previous washer but overall the washer does the job well. I have a small area for the washer dryer and it fit perfectly in that area. The price is also reasonable too!

So far, so good. It’s very noisy at the beginning of the cycle. It has a very roomy tub size, so washing a comforter shouldn’t be a problem. The machine uses less water than my 1977 model, so my water bill should decrease.

I had an older version of this washer for about 12 years. While the old one was still working, some plumbing work was being done in the laundry room, so I decided to get a new one. I was pleasantly surprised to find almost the exact model at Best Buy and for a very competitive price. I prefer analog dials over touch controls, and this machine has all the settings and more than I would ever need. I particularly like that the spin cycle leaves the clothes almost dry, so it saves time in the actual dryer!

The product is great but I really wish I had a review option specifically for the installers. They were kind, efficient, very knowledgeable and made our 88 year old father feel completely comfortable that he knew what to do to operate the appliance. Well done!!!

Washer Works Well

The washer works great, but I have trouble each time turning it on. It it start for a few seconds and stop then I have to pus it a few more times. The switch need to be a button or know. Also, I had to buy an extension hose and get a plumber to lower my drain pipe. If you get a new washer try to keep your old hose incase, you run into the same problem. I should mention my old washer was 37 years old.
